TED2014 to be live-streamed at Notre Dame

Although traveling to Vancouver for this year's TED Conference might not be an option for many Michiana residents, locals will have the opportunity to watch a live stream of it at Notre Dame.

TED Conferences give world experts in science, arts, business, entertainment, technology, design and global issues a platform to share their work. Over the course of a week, more than 70 speakers deliver 18-minute presentations, which are broken up by short musical and comedic performances, TED's website said.

You might have heard of TEDtalks – this annual conference is where they were created.

There are only a few universities that simulcast parts of the event – fortunately for people around the area, Notre Dame is one of them. The university will be streaming the conference on a large screen between 11:30 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. March 18 in the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
